50oz or 28oz balance
how do you determine which harmonic balancer and flex plate to use? also i know that they should match but what do you do if you swap a t-5. is there weighted fly wheels the same as flex plates

RE: 50oz or 28oz balance
It will depend on the crankshaft used...... yes, flywheels and flex plates have a balance factor.....if you change to a T5 setup, and your auto had a 50 oz. balanced flex plate, you need a flywheel balanced for a 50 oz rotating assy.

I thought the balancing had to do with the mass of the crankshaft. My machine guy showed me some that were way beefy and some that were much more dainty.
